Fu Hongtao pursed his lips as something suddenly popped into his mind. He retrieved the necklace under his pillow and presented it to Gu Nanyu.
"You ungrateful child, no matter how poor you are, you should never sell the inheritance from your mother! If your uncle hadn't noticed, wouldn't your family heirloom have ended up in someone else's hands?"
Gu Nanyu was taken aback when she realized that was her necklace.
Of course, she was delighted too!
Luckily they found it.
So it was Fu Beichen who took it!
That was how he knew the truth about Fu Xingchen being her mother!
Fu Beichen had set out on an investigation about her only because grandfather recognized this necklace.
The only matter of concern was how was he such an exceptional actor?
What nonsense was he spewing when he told grandfather that she had to sell the necklace because she had no more money?
Bah, what a dramatic bastard!
"Grandfather, it's a misunderstanding." Gu Nanyu could only beat around the bush for now.
Fu Hongtao announced seriously after he returned the necklace to Gu Nanyu.
"Never lose this necklace again, come what may. Your uncle informed me about your situation in the Gu family. Your uncle will make the necessary arrangements to bring you and your siblings here soon. By then, I'll teach the Gu family a lesson!"
Gu Nanyu's heart jolted when she heard that Fu Hongtao intended to interfere in the Gu family matters.
She quickly said, "Grandfather, I would appreciate it if you don't meddle in the Gu family issues. I have my own ways to retrieve everything that rightfully belongs to my father."
The main reason Gu Nanyu rejected the offer was to prevent Fu Beichen's dominance over her everything.
To her, Fu Beichen remained a mystery.
Before Gu Nanyu could see through Fu Beichen, she would never let him hold sway over her Achilles heel.
Fu Hongtao studied Gu Nanyu before patting her shoulder with a face full of relief.
"Grandfather is very relieved that Xingchen has a commendable son! Fine, I promise not to intervene in your matters and allow you to reclaim your rightful possessions yourself."
Gu Nanyu then took a glance at Fu Beichen who was standing nearby.
"Grandfather, my uncle hasn't agreed yet."
Gu Nanyu wanted to impel Fu Beichen to declare that he would leave her alone.
Gu Nanyu had seen for herself how obsessive and possessive Fu Beichen could get.
Fu Beichen gave her a subtle glimpse. He knew her game, he could read her like a book.
"I'm not interested."
Right then, the nurses came in to remind Fu Hongtao to rest. It was then he finally let Fu Beichen bring Gu Nanyu out.
Gu Nanyu held onto a thought as she walked out. Her uncle might not be her biological uncle, but she could confirm that her grandfather was definitely her biological grandfather.
The kinship was unalterable.
After all, blood is thicker than water.
Although this was her first time meeting Fu Hongtao, there were no generation gaps nor unfamiliarity.
It must be the power of kinship.
On the other hand, her relationship with Fu Beichen...
Forget it. Why should she compare herself, a sane human being, with a complete monster?
Gu Nanyu sat on the bench by the corridor with her vision solely on the necklace in hand.
It was just a jade pendant and the knot on the string was undone. What did it have to do with her biological father?
Just then, Fu Beichen ended his conversation with the doctor and walked toward her.
He saw Gu Nanyu looking attentively at the jade pendant in her hands as he approached her.
"Keep it well, you might not be this lucky next time."
Gu Nanyu recalled the fact that Fu Beichen had lied to Fu Hongtao about how she sold the jade pendant because she was short of money. He was really full of excuses.
"Even a three-year-old knows that lying will make one's nose longer. Ironically, some shameless adults are simply addicted to telling lies."
"Thank you, but I already have it." Fu Beichen glared straight at her. "Maybe you can try lying more. Maybe someday yours will finally grow for future physical examinations."
Fu Beichen then marched directly out of sight.
Gu Nanyu was left alone with a puzzled face and question marks floating overhead. After a moment, she was shocked when she finally realized what he meant.
F*ck, you don't even warn people before you drop innuendos!
I meant lying gives you a long nose, not a long d*ck!
What the hell do you mean you have it!
So what if you a d*ck!
I have a nest, so I can have as many d*cks as I want!
